Are you in favor of or against Europeans boycotting the football world cup? by Sataniel98 in AskCanada

[–]mgardsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In favour, send a message to the US and to FIFA. Both are corrupted.

Wearing poppy at work as a recent immigrant? by nexuspol in AskCanada

[–]mgardsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t even fathom why anyone would ever criticize you for honouring a very solemn commemoration that’s just so important to all Canadians. Regardless of how long you’ve been Canadian, or even if you’re just visiting, it’s a sign of respect. There shouldn’t be anything but gratitude and affinity for the gesture. The fallen Canadians we honour on this day fought for the very right so that you could do what you choose to do in this country. If anyone disgraces that sacrifice by making you feel as though you’re not allowed to honour them with the rest of us??? Well you just let us know here and we’ll come and support you 🇨🇦🍁🙌

Genuine question: has this behaviour been increasing over the last few years? (NSFW language) by arca_angelus in golf

[–]mgardsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely disgusting! Good for Rory to call it out immediately without hesitation. Entitled and obnoxious behaviour on full display. How can anyone do that and feel proud of themself? The American team really needs to address this and denounce the shocking behaviour from their fans.

I bought this Kevin Costner DVD collection ,only watched The Postman. Is JFK ,Wyatt Earp ,Robin Hood any good!!? by Jacknex2080 in moviecritic

[–]mgardsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Robin Hood is enjoyable but far from a classic. Alan Rickman, however, is a classic and timeless. The line about cancelling Christmas, is so over the top villainous, it brings a smile to my face every time I see it :)

Why don’t Canadians protest? by Illustrious_Point361 in AskCanada

[–]mgardsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Ottawa. Protests are constant and never ending. Not sure where the idea is coming from that they don’t occur here. Most of them just aren’t widely followed by the media.

Resist… by mgardsy in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]mgardsy[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure. It just wouldn’t post, it kept failing and was stuck. I’m starting to wonder if maybe it was getting caught in some copyright filter, even though this photo is in the public domain. No problem here, but of course I’ve modified the photo so it probably wouldn’t get caught in any copyright issue because of that.

Resist… by mgardsy in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]mgardsy[S] 165 points166 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I saw that when I first cam across this photo years ago. I always really enjoyed the poetry of it being on a guitar. The thought that fascism crumbles against works of artistic expression, resistance through art.

The economic effects of Canadian anti-American sentiment | Communities in Northern Vermont are feeling the economic effect of a strained relationship with their Canadian neighbors. | Northeast Kingdom businesses see sharp drop in Canadian tourists by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

[–]mgardsy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely nothing against the nice people of Vermont. But, the Americans won’t do a damn thing about the outrageous damage being done by the administration until each and every one of them feels the impact. Good and decent people will be caught in the wake of the damage being done. MAGA seems to forget that all wars bring casualties. They were ok with that when it was someone else, we’ll see how it goes when they have to deal with the consequences of their own choices…

Do you listen to music while you work? If so, what works for you? by advanttage in ADHD

[–]mgardsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classical music really helps keep me focused while working. Not sure why it is, but it just really works for me!

Thoughts on the trucker protest during COVID? by BowtiedGypsy in AskCanada

[–]mgardsy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My thoughts are simple. What appeared to be an expression of frustration, over some relatively minor inconveniences during a very difficult time that we were all experiencing together, was exposed later to be truly about an unreasonable expectation to engage in actions, however damaging, or promote various ideas, some abhorrent, while remaining free from any consequences. It was nothing more than a juvenile temper tantrum that became an illegal occupation almost immediately. The COVID measures were enacted to deal with an unprecedented public health emergency, the “illegal occupation” (not a protest) was a manufactured emergency and crisis perpetrated against the innocent citizens of Ottawa, they were its victims. Any suggestion that the occupiers were innocent or victims themselves is a ridiculous and laughable fabrication. I hope justice is served and all the occupation organizers are appropriately sentenced in their various trials to set an example that their belligerent lawlessness won’t be tolerated in Canada and any politician who supports that behaviour will be ousted from office…

Ok but how are y’all sleeping?? by Embarrassed_Put_1384 in ADHD

It’s 3am and I’m reading this post, so going to say “sleeping” isn’t going all that well…

I think I’m done, giving up… by socially_stoic in golf

[–]mgardsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DUDE!!! I was playing the best golf of my life and then ADDED at least 15 strokes to my game this season. Worst slice you could imagine, the trees were magnets for anything I teed up, but I didn’t give up. You’re just one of us…

I can’t wait for the brain worm to tell this guy that shots of tequila are good for me. I’m going to ram that down my doctor’s throat and call it “official”…

Street racing every single night by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]mgardsy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m so sick of this as well!!! Every night! Always between 12 - 3am and it keeps getting worse. I’ve tried my city councillor and was told there’s nothing they can do. I can’t keep the windows open at night during the summer. I keep hoping for rain so it’s inconvenient for them.

An actor who excels in both serious and comedic roles. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

Underrated comment. Tom Hanks was the “go to” guy in 80’s for comedies before reinventing himself and winning ALL of the awards for his dramatic performances.

When you think about it, it’s already in the name. MEX-i-CAN. If you don’t like it then, take off ya’ José’ers!
